Comments Thread For: Edgar Berlanga Goes Distance, Decisions Steve Rolls Over Ten

He is not steamrolling his opponents anymore. That was fast. I thought he should have KO’ed his last two. I think he is a bit on the chinny side though, from what I have seen. As he steps up he probably knows he needs to be more careful. He needs to guard his chin. I’ve seen him get hurt bad, versus an unknown.

Zayas was a lot more impressive than Berlanga! Think he stole the show.

Shame on Ward with that Card, Basically Rolls have no Chance unless he knocked him out

No way Ward was going to give Rolls any love last night. To do so would be to give GGG some credit by proxy, and Ward is petty as fu.ck with stuff like that.

Now Berlanga's excuse for his poor performance is that Rolls was scared & didn't want to fight, I guess Berlanga never heard of boxing(sticking & moving) & only knows about brawling. When ever Berlanga fights a guy with power that's hungry to win & will take it to him & lands a good punch, it's game over for Berlanga..

Berlanga needs to develop a ramrod jab and punch in combinations, not just plod forward looking for an opening to throw the right hand. That works against journeymen, but the jab and combination punching and also head movement and footwork should have been worked on in all the training camps before now. I saw these things 10 fights ago and he has not really improved anything since that time. He needs more fights at this level or slightly below for now, and needs to start showing improvements, otherwise his career looks to be going nowhere except fringe contender level.

That mainly comes naturally imo. If he doesn't have that now he never will. Watch a 19 year old Benavidez and compare him to this guy. Totally different class. Berlanga just does not have it. Hype job dusted.

Berlanga , unfortunately for him , is one dimensional
At this moment in time , there is no way he learns or even comes close to changing his habits
It’s just to late in time
He will always be that overhyped fighter

[SUBZER0ED]

Berlanga's step up in competition has shown that he's not going far.

“stood and fought with GGG”

Well, it’s not like he had a choice not to, GGG Is actually skilled and knows how to cut off the ring. GGG forced him to fight the fight he wanted because that’s what happens when there’s a huge gap in levels. Rolls could’ve chose any game plan he wanted, he would’ve still been forced to stand and fight.

Berlanga has very little ability, so Rolls could fight the fight he wanted.

I only referenced the GGG fight because Berlanga referenced it in the post fight interview saying he expected Rolls to fight the way he fought against GGG.
